One episode gave me an existential dread fueled panic attack and I had to leave the room and turn it off. 10/10 would reccomend.
Which episode may I ask?
@@reynax1436 season 6, episode 15.
Which part caused it?
@@saileenaway6457 The part where Bojack is about to go through the door, and Herb says "oh no Bojack, there is nothing after this" but really its the whole episode. I knew where it was going for hours and I knew approximately where it was leading. I started feeling at least a little anxious when they first started showing the leaky ceiling.
The View From Halfway Down is my favorite tv show episode ever, it gives me chills every time I watch it.
I was genuinely afraid to watch the last 4 episodes. That's how powerful this show is.
i took a weeklong break to compose myself to watch the last two episodes. nothing would prepare me for the view from halfway down
same experience. it was mentally exhausting and I had to take a break after binging 3 seasons straight. it was making me feel a certain way and i couldn't handle it with my exams going on. season 4-6 were something else entirely.
@@sg-qi7np LITERALLY SAME
same, when the second half of the last season came out I put off watching it for quite a while
@@sg-qi7np nothing could. The poem too.. whew
lol diane being the black sheep in a family with a literal adopted black sheep is probably the best joke in the show
That's so true

Sometimes it's not a matter of will power. Severe mental illness will render you incapable of the simplest of tasks. It doesn't matter how "motivated" you are, you just can't. People who don't understand this will call you lazy and belittle you for it. It hurts. I know nobody asked but I just thought someone would read this and understand that's it's not as easy as people think.
@@stupiddumbass489 thank you.
@@stupiddumbass489 I definitely see where you’re coming from and understand this as someone who struggles with depression and anxiety myself. But I think what this quote means is that if you are able to get through these episodes, it gets easier with time to understand and manage it if you put in the work (therapy, taking care of your health, building a life worth living, etc) and medication necessary, as well as observe your triggers and what can give you clarity in even a bad depressive episode. The quote isn’t meant to invalidate the struggle of a depressive episode because those are, like you put, painful and it’s hard to do anything in the moment; it’s meant to shine light on the fact that dealing with mental health issues, toxic traits that come from mental illness, and past trauma can become easier with years of healthy practices and perspective
@@blooms454 Thank you! I had this feeling like what I wrote was missing something important. I really do appreciate your take on this. And I'm sorry that you also have to deal with this stupid mental thing. There's not much I can do but I really hope you're doing well. And once again, thank you.
@@stupiddumbass489 Thank you so much for your kind words, stranger ❤️ I’m glad my perspective could provide some insight and I’m sorry you’re struggling yourself :( I wish you the best of luck for everything in your life!!
the fact that the show gets better with each season straight through with a stellar series finale i feel is rather under appreciated
Heyy, I'm going to ask you a stupid question. Since you and many others seem to love the show, I wondered if I should watch this it too. I'm very much interested, but I'm scared it hits home too much. It's seems awesome, but should I watch this if I'm still struggling with that?
@@ClySaga YES. I believe this show doesn’t idolise abuse, but rather humanises the abused and abusers
@@ClySaga absolutely, this show is the most real expression of depression and shows its viewers different approaches to problems. you will surely enjoy your time watching it.
I never wanted to watch this show but when I did I fell in love with it, it's so good! The intro and outro music is great, everything is great about it
There are only few shows that are like this. Most shows end up being shit in later seasons, But Shows like Bojack and Breaking Bad are better as series go.
I think the moment Herb said "So what you're saying is. You're sorry. Okay. I don't forgive you." is what caught my attention. That "Oh...this show is more than I thought." moment I think every viewer of the show has at some point. I've dealt with abusive family. It's absurd how many times people that were never abused try to push the whole "You should forgive them if they say sorry. It's the right thing to do." Even stomaching a few said apologies that I knew weren't real. Just to avoid more drama. The whole not forgiving an abuser thing never even crossed my mind as an actual valid option. So that bit in the telescope episode almost felt freeing in a way. I don't mean freeing like "Oh Bojack did a shitty thing, that makes my shitty behavior okay." No not that. I know Bojack wasn't an abusive parental figure to Herb. But that whole scene just caught me way off guard but in a good way. A moment in a show about a talking horse got me to go back to therapy and find a healthy way to deal with this trauma. Finding a healthy way to have a mindset similar to Herb's in that scene. It's done wonders. Bojack is a depressing show but it's done so much good for a lot of people. And I'm still so glad I gave the show a shot.
I felt a similar way. Seeing that scene really made me resonate with the show and helped me feel better. I had an extremely toxic and borderline narcissistic friend, who treated me like garbage. I stopped being friends with her, and while still feeling like garbage about it I watched Bojack Horseman. Now when Bojack went to appologise I felt myself dreading Herbs response, dreading that Herb would forgive him like any other show would. But once he said "I don't forgive you" I was shocked. It was something I said to her often near the end of our friendship, because she never changed no matter how many times I forgave her for the same things. And seeing it be completely justified, seeing Bojack be in the wrong for this, made me feel so much more at ease. I was still worried that Herb would forgive him eventually but when Bojack says that Herb never forgave him, even until his death, I felt so much better. Even after all those years, Herb didn't forgive him, because he didn't have to. Something I was struggling with since I was made to feel like I was evil for refusing to forgive her yet (I said I would forgive her if she changed) and I felt so guilty for saying it. As simple as it is, you don't have to accept an appology just because they gave you one. It's something I really appreciate the show for.
Even at 30 years old, the show taught me valuable things about relationships. Not what I was expecting when I watched the first episode. It's only towards the end of the first season that I realized what kind of show it was and I was in for the ride.
@rosenrot234
I realize this is a year late, but I still want to say, Congratulations. Growing up in an abusive family is fucking horrific. Most people have no idea what it's like to constantly have to explain and validate your existence every moment of every day of your life. I'm really glad that you pushed on and found your inner strength.
@@TrouvatkiDePercusion Thanks man.
@@rosenrot234 Absolutely, brother. Or sister. I have no idea. But still, point remains, you have every reason to be proud of yourself.
I work behind the scenes in a lot of tv media and holy shit can I say, the depiction of the people in Horsin around and just the show in general when you see the whole thing is so accurate this is how lots of actors, even child actors, behave off camera. It was so cool to see
BH is my favorite tv show ever, love to see the analysis
The difference between agents and managers is that managers talk about the difference between agents and managers, and agent... dont as much?
So everyone has the character of the species they are?
Bojack - Why the long face?
Mr Peanut Butter - Living in the now etc.
I rather think of the species as a symbol, or possibly a shorthand for the character. Instead of providing characterisation by backstory, the creators simply provided an animal stereotype (kind like in a fable) and brought everyone up to speed.
@@Skaldewolf That is what I meant but I lack the vocabulary :) Thanks!
It's a little bit like that. A definite part of someone, but not in any way all of who they are.
Well Princess Carolyn is a cat, but she is an overworker and cats like to sleep a lot so they're probably just random animals.
Daky- cats while being portrayed as, well, princesses, they also are labeled as independent a lot. She wants to “have it all” like a princess, but because she came from nothing has tap into the more “feral” hunter type to get to the “have it all” princess house cat life. If that makes sense 🤭
There’s something bout that theme song that gets me every time
OOHHH! You should watch john2cello's video about the openings of bojack horseman!
I just came from watching his video, myself.
@@ShootingStarFromDeepSpace I’ll check it out thanks 🤙🏼
A sad fact of life that this show mercilessly hammers in is that some people are raised "To be happy" and others "to be sad". As I talked about this show with a friend, comparing Mr. Peanutbutter with Bojack, we came to the conclusion that Bojack's basal state is "misery", and there's nothing they can do about it. Meanwhile Mr. Peanutbutter's is "happiness". This means that while good things might cheer Bojack up temporarily, he will inevitably revert to his base state of feeling bad about himself. While for Mr. P, unless something is going actively wrong he's happy by default. On a superficial level this is comparison of how your outlook on life can be all the difference in the world but we're shown how both these mentalities are rooted in the circumstances of their childhood. This is a psychobiological fact of how the brain develops since we're little and it permanently rigs us for either success or failure. And the show makes a brilliant work of demonstrating all of which I talked about above.
I can't understand people who default to happy
@@nottodayfedboi3536 I wish I was the person who defaults to happy, their lives are easier...
@@CrustyB1 Yeah, "just cheer up" is something that actually works for them
everytime i think ive analyzed the show to death, theres more
I default at not giving a fuck about anything
I rewatched this show 5 times, watched videos about the show about maybe 10 times the length of the whole series and still can’t get enough. Gets better every time, hits harder every time. Just has such a special place in my heart.
Bojack is one of those feel-bad shows that make you feel terrible 10/10 would recommend
Ugh, I just finished watching Bojack, and it's still swimming in my awareness. It's such a thoughtful, raw, fearless show. It's more human than any other show I've seen ever.
Pretty ironic considering half the cast of animals haha
Not gonna lie, half of my enjoyment from Bojack Horseman analyses comes from people talking about asexuality and remembering that I do indeed exist. Other half is finding amazing new creators.
You should have your hormones checked. You probably are asexual but I’d check them just in case. My friend thought he was asexual until he learned he had low testosterone. They gave him replacement therapy and he wasn’t asexual anymore. Best of luck to you :).
@@samstits5136 Yeah no, definitely come to the realization I'm aromantic too. I understand that some people do incorrectly label themselves based off hormonal deficiencies, but that's a very small amount of people and potentially offensive to tell a stranger. I don't think you have ill intent though, and I'm glad your friend figured out their sexuality
@@thecheck968 oh no I’m being offensive :O. What am I to do lol. I Literally meant nothing by it and was trying to help cause I saw how happy my friend was when he figured it out. I believe in asexual people with no hormone imbalances but it’s important to check. Best wishes :)
@@thecheck968 You're covering your ears and shouting to not hear. Go to a fucking doctor and get checked before you change your personality because of a tiktok you saw. Everyone wants to be unique, this ain't the way to go about it. The fuck are you talking about, 'ill intent'? Not being asexual is a direct upgrade, the fact that he suggested a solution is the biggest kindness he could've given you. No one likes perpetual victims, get your head out of the sand before you get a sunburn.
You are one of these brainwashed gen Z's.
You dont need media representation for your validation. Good friends and/or family that accept you for who you are, are enough. In your case there is no social pressure on you. Nobody cares that you are asexual, you are not discriminated and not disadvantaged ìn society. If you are offended by a stranger asking/suggesting you if you checked your hormones because your human body is not functioning correctly in a friendly manner, that's on you.
I have a hard time getting hooked on series and I tried then abandoned BoJack a couple of times. You convinced me to keep trying, thank you :) I'm asexual so of course I knew about *that part of the show*, and it already made me want to love the series. I think I needed more analysis so this is perfect.
I've met a few people who said BoJack didn't hook them quickly enough, it probably wouldn't have hooked me but I wasn't bored enough to binge it, I think the episode that got my attention was when he got into an altercation with the Navy Seal seal, and when he went on TV to apologize BoJack did a little tirade about how serving in the military shouldn't automatically make you a hero, that's the moment where it clicked and I thought "okay, this is trying to do something different". But yeah, glad I could convince you to try again, I'm sure you'll love it!
@@Salari thanks!!
@@SallyLock103emeCaris did you ever manage to get into it? :)
@@DaveEon why yes I am currently watching season 2 ! I love it of course.
@@Salari The Neal McBeal altercation is in the very first episode. But yeah it got my attention too :)
I loved your analysis by the way, and for a very first video, this is a rather professional work.
I would argue that BoJack Horseman isn't the best thing on Netflix, but that's only because Russian Doll exists. Still, it's a fucking contender. Wild to think the second half of the last season came out this year, 2020 has been way too long..
Russian Doll is damn good, although that would be my third favourite, second favourite is Mindhunter. And you're right, it feels like it was a year ago since that second half came out...
@@Salari I haven't seen Mindhunter, but I've heard good things! Really ought to get around to it eventually.
But yeah, when I saw the date on the video, I figured it'd be recent enough to cover the final season, until the first mention in the video of it being upcoming.
Anyway, the eyeballs sent me here. Really like the videos of yours I've seen so far!
Russian doll is beautifully written, I understand why its at the top of your list.
Russian Doll was great but I feel like there were some slight production problems here and there. I’d give Bojack Horseman the slight edge over it. But also, are we just forgetting Breaking Bad, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Maniac, and Avatar?
@@sprawlz6466 I don't know anything about Maniac, but for the others, we're clearly talking about shows Netflix made. Even then, I'd still put both Russian Doll and Bojack over some of the ones you listed.
This show hit really hard. I was in high school and I was being bullied and despite how I tried to stay together I felt tired all the time. Something made me check out Bohack Horseman and I watched a few episodes before school each morning (background noise while I made my lunch or packed my bag) and the further I got in the more it resonated with me. I'm at a much healthier place mentally now but I can't deny that this show made me realise things about myself and about the world. Deep things like personal relationships, selfishness, and it provided a very realistic portrayal of depression, that didn't feel stereotyped to me at least. It's not just crying all the time. Sometimes depression is neglecting yourself because you feel like you don't deserve it. It just resonated with me and I can't put why into words entirely
In light of the final season this seems almost optimistic, would love to hear your thoughts about the last season!
gotta say i love the character development for Mr. P he really started off simple and seemed like he was just there to be there. As the show went on we saw more of his backstory and more of his ups and down, honestly i loved seeing that.
Came wanting to know abt the horse; left with a weird crisis and an urge to rewatch it over and over for the next two years
Bojack is the first show I watched that I flew by in about a month or two, the whole 6 seasons, it didn't even feel like a chore due to the insane character development at different times throughout the series, they don't pile it on at once which wasn't even their intention and it worked insanely well, I may be young but I felt this show slightly, many of the things I know I will feel later on and I somehow related to it
There is no words to really say how good this show is, it's no normal watch it have a laugh then go, you get deeply involved straight away and even the sometimes whacky ass humour just... works man
This show is one of my favourites ever snd I hope to rewatch it when I'm older to see what I missed
I immediately knew how depressing it would be by the third episode
even though the show didn't make me cry it gave me ways to deal with my sadness in ways that are good instead of bad. This show genuinely helped me.
Me too
legit binged this show this month and needed more content thank you
Me currently after finishing
Bro every time re-watched bojack I literlly crying at the end every time is amazing scary and feel like something just vanish from you
this show brought up a few mental breakdowns cause I related to him more than I like to admit. I never had a show portray something as relatable and as deep as bojack did. I love this show cause it let me know I'm not exactly alone in my thoughts no matter how much it feels like I am
Bojack horseman will always go down in the hall of fame
One of the greatest series I've ever gone through. Would recommend to everyone who can handle it. It's definitely an emotional roller coaster.
Bojack is 1 of 3 cinema pieces that changed the way I view the world
I have only a few episodes left of Bojack and I’m completely in love with this show. Much like you said I was originally put off by the presumption it was just an “adult cartoon” ie let’s be edgy and gross in the medium of animation to see what we can get away with omg a cartoon deer just said shit isn’t that subversive??? Take THAT disney! And as judgemental as that may sound, I actually don’t hate that such things exist. If people pop on one of those kinds of shows and likes it it’s not because they’re horrible gross people they just wanted a cheap easy laugh and that’s fine- we can all do with that some time.
But when I finally got into the story of Bojack it just had so many moments that hit hard and I can’t stress enough- it said things I needed to hear. Particularly with Wanda, everyone remembers her rose coloured glasses line but to me when she said “I’m sorry life has been hard for you but that doesn’t give you the right to be shitty to me!” That moment felt powerful. I loved that the show could give me damaged characters who do bad things but it was never trying to convince you “character has sad backstory so bad decisions that hurt ppl are ok!” Like I think we’ve seen a lot of anti heroes, unlikeable protagonists or villains with tragic backstories and the narrative is framed to have us side with them. Bojack doesn’t do that. I understand Bojack I can feel sympathetic but when he does something wrong it is framed to be wrong.
Personally, I am a happy go lucky kind of guy but my siblings are loud destructive people who have caused me a lot of damage and as strange as it may be this show helped me in a big way to process them. And now with a few episodes left to go when I compare Bojack’s chaos to my siblings and see myself in near enough everyone else for one reason or another, I find myself wanting to know how his story ends and if he can be okay. I, like the other characters, can move on and do my own thing but I still want to know if the people who seem on a constant self destruct can be okay even if we have to part ways
The Mr Blue song in the last episode made me cry so much but in a good way
this show got me out of depression, it hits really hard when you see the "you are secretariat", its a gut punch if u ever relate to bojack at all becouse he is so human and me comming from a broken family growing up , at 21 i trully felt like i as going his direction, so i decided to go my own way and changed my life acordingly, this show really changed the direcction of my life on a good way, i cannot understate that, this show is as big of a WAKE UP call as it gets, its kinda funny, now i relate more to mr peanutbutter
Man this is a great underated video that describes Bojack Horseman perfectly and shows all the characters even better this is my favorite show because it is so depressing it puts you in the moment it makes you feel things I remember watching some of the later episodes of season 6 I was breathing fast and I felt sick because I put my self in these characters and watching them just get thrown around was heart breaking, some of the best things about this show is how real it is and in my opinion the quote that shows this to be true is "sometimes life's a bitch and then keep living" which means at least to me you go through some shit in your life but you have to keep going. Anyways thank you so much for making this video it is the best review of Bojack Horseman I have seen keep making videos man this is great ☺️
I think some of the most depressing shows/cartoons/anime I’ve ever watched are Bojack Horseman, End of the Fucking World, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. All of which are goddamn amazing and deserve the love and admiration they receive.
AWESOME video essay, please make more! Captured everything I love about the show in such a cool and succinct way!
It's always good to see people praising this underrated show. I think Bojack is one of the best SERIES ever made. And yet, the outward appearance makes people dismiss it.
Another thing I noticed is that the show tends more to a Family Guy-esque vibe in the earlier episodes of S01, and some of my friends gave up on it because of that. It's only at s01 ending forwards that it reaaally picks up steam.
This video, and your videos in general, are wonderful. I can relate to so much of what you said about your own struggles with mental health and to a lot of things you highlighted about the characters. You just convinced me to finally watch this show.
Thank you so much! I think anyone who's had struggles with mental health will find something to love about this show, they put so much care and attention into getting it right and it just happens to be a hilarious show, too. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend also was excellent with its approach, I'm considering making a video on that someday.
@@Salari you're very welcome!
I just started watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend a couple weeks ago and I'm almost done with it already, I love it so much! I would love to hear your take on it!
Beastars and Aggretsuko are two of my favorite Netflix shows. Will have to give Bojack a watch sometime.
I also grow up in abusive parent,my mom lied to me abt my dad (idk where or who is my dad) my mom abuse me and my younger brother to the point we have trauma and need help, my grandma (where me and younger brother lives now) doesn't even listen to us, she just want us to go abroad and build a career to pay her back, I don't have close friends to talk abt my own trauma, I'm all alone in this fcking world...i regret being born in this position. I'm suffering from anxiety and depression but I just dismissed them to surve...or...idk..that's why I relate to this so much because I know how it feels.
It can get easier
So sorry to read this... I hope things get better for you and your brother soon! Please take care
are you okay?
i was sold on the show the second the theme music started playing. just the way the synths sounded so uneasy immediately proved this show was going to actually say something
"I'm your son. All I had was you." That's the line the fucked me up.
I honestly love Bojack. I’m currently on my 5th rewatch. I used to never rewatch stuff I’ve already seen until I saw this show. Idk if it’s because I relate to Bojack or because it’s just that good. This is truly one of my favourite shows.
There are many great episodes in this amazing series. Several episodes are so great that they by themselves are some of the greatest examples of storytelling in animated history. Simply an amazing feat by the writers. Escape from L.A., Fish Out of Water and That's Too Much, Man, The View from Halfway Down and Time's Arrow are all great contenders for first place for what I consider storytelling at its finest. But there's one episode that had a deep emotional impact on me; that left a mark at the back of my mind that I find myself revisiting: The Old Sugarman Place.
I know it isn't as well put together and presented as The View from Halfway Down or Fish Out of Water but it deals with memories, abuse, despair, grief, self-deception and destroying the past without healing its wounds. Bojack never managed to deal with his guilt for Sarah Lynn's death. At first, it looks as if he managed to rebuild himself by finishing his grandparent's summer home but he destroys the home instead of handing it over to a new owner or keeping it as family property.
At first, the symbolism is easy to grasp: by destroying the old Sugarman's home he is destroying the past and all its bad memories, allowing himself to move on. The spirit which he explains to Eddie: is that he does not want to be stuck in the past. But the problem I see with this explanation is that ignores several key issues. It wasn't Bojack that renovated the house, it was Eddie. By destroying the home he is also destroying a direct anchor to a simpler time when he was a child (regression) and any good memories attached to the place. Bojack isn't destroying the house because he had an epiphany of wisdom, he retreated from the healing process through rationalization. When Eddie comments on Bojack's sentiment about the past and "Time's arrow marches on" I believe Eddie isn't speaking to his own grief but that he does not believe Bojack is past what landed him in the old Sugarman's home in the first place: Sarah Lynn and the abuse he suffered. Bojack ended his healing prematurely.
The teardown of the home symbolizes that he learnt nothing to last beyond the place as the whole stay was a method to torture himself and indulge in his grief whilst dragging a grieving bystander into his own emotional trauma. A grieving bystander that he hurt by forcing to break his own bargaining to make up for Lorraine's death by not flying. This isn't how you help someone start a healing process, this is how you put an emotionally vulnerable person through the wringer, which can end up making them snap.
The ending scene hits hard. Watching Beatrice as a filly still playing outside the home, alone and holding the doll despite it making it difficult to handle the hoop, symbolizes that old Beatrice is stuck in the past and never was able to move on.
'To put it simply, BoJack is one of the best written and performed tragic characters of modern times' - perfect description
Bojack horseman is a underrated show
An intresting note is that we see bojack as a "good person" despite his upbringing, until hollywood comes a calling...
All of this!!! As well as how every single detail of the characters and the story and the Easter eggs in the background all are foreshadowing and I see more and more stuff every time I rewatch the show. Literally my favorite show ever
Honestly, this show was such a deep, personal perspective for me on aspects of my life I wish were better. It was a serious rollercoaster of viewing my feelings and some of my experiences played out through someone else. I absolutely loved and hated the show because it was amazing how well it depicted everything and it hit so hard... but I also cannot re-watch it because it simply would be, as someone else said, like masochism of my own making. I got my closure from a show that I couldn't get from my own life, for things I experienced and a show portrayed. It will always be my favorite show, but it will also be the only one I won't watch again.
Even four years later this is an amazing show & content! One of the best Bo Jack videos I’ve watched, GREAT JOB. 👏🏽👏🏽
Bojack horsemen is in my top 5 tv series
I loved it
My friend reccomended this show for me and I can never thank him enough
the background music in the second segment combined with your voice is great. if anyone knows the sound can you please let me know
Want to know the name of the song to:/
Me to :(
The intro, in particular, is a masterpiece.
The only show I’ve genuinely watched from start to finish
I was severely depressed when I watched this show which made it very hard for me emotionally. I don't know if i could watch it again now that I'm not.
hey man, you made a great video. appreciate the personal bits. I think I love bojack for the same reasons as well. the characters speak well to a person who is dealing with problems and at times makes you feel less alone. that is, if you have the heart to watch the dark times of the show.
its a great video, you did really well for your first :D
I disagree with many of your takes, I especially feel like you kind of reduced or simplified some of the characters (might have been due to you attempting to avoid spoilers..), but I love seeing different takes on this show. It's truly brilliant. Hope you liked the last season!
Bojack horseman is not only the best show Netflix has ever made but it's one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life
Watching this series hurt so bad. I related to Bojack so much and I watched ot during a time where I was suicidally depressed and struggling with forming relationships as well as coming to terms with the fact that my mother was abusive. I was so absorbed into the series. And I could relate to every character in different ways.
Underrated video/channel
My take on Bojack, I think it’s lovely. I think it’s harsh and real and depressing and even though their are like animals and shit it makes for a lovely watch. I finished after a few weeks and I gained alot of comfort and thought behind it. Such good writing and likewise so my h to think on. It’s crazy how good it is.
Yeah Tod being asexual was so refreshing 🍹🍹
Bojack is an amazing introspective look at what it means to be human and process your emotions. Truly remarkable.
I love how i can feel that you fully digested evangelion and how it mark subtly this video. There is quiet a lot of parallel to be drawn between the two. Neat stuff ^^
“The view from halfway down” deserved all of the awards.
This is my favorite show. Idk what that says about me tho haha
2 years old but still so on point. I've recommended this show to so many people, and not just because it's written so well. I've learned of so many new music artists through this series, and how they used the songs is amazing. There's one episode in which they used K-Flay's 'Blood in the cut' and they used it so incredibly well, it's astounding.
I almost exclusively watch RUclips and Anime, but Bojack Horseman caught my eye for some reason... i can't even remember why I watched it, I think it was in a tracker and it just ended up on my computer at some point, and I picked something random to watch and just happened to click on the folder. I loved it, I ended up watching it twice, and I am so glad that the stars aligned that caused me to see this show.
i related so much to bojacks abandonment issues and the struggle to maintain healthy relationships. when the creators confirmed bojack had BPD everything clicked for me.
Though Archer has its own issues, BH and Archer are my favourite shows. This is a great analysis of a great show! Loving this channel and have become completely obsessed! ❤️❤️❤️
Bojack horseman is like good up to the last season and from there it's just fucked up. Really good, but really really heavy
The first half is actually pretty happy in a lot of ways, but their is something terrible lingering behind the good moments.
I didn’t realize this was your first video until you said so. The quality made me think you’d been doing this for years
Insightful and concise video, thanks for making it
Time’s Arrow is probably one of my favorite episodes of any show ever
The best show! I am Russian and I like Bojack Horseman
You had me sold at 7 minutes and 48 seconds. I closed RUclips and went to Netflix and now I’m loving the show. Thank you, also you’re incredibly underrated
WOO! how far are you?

BoJack never hears what Secretariat says in response to his letter. In a later episode it shows that during that moment, Bojacks parents were having a shouting match in the kitchen and young Bojack couldn't hear the TV.
Yes he does hear it. He leans in so its all he could hear. Creators confirmed this and its hinted at. Don't stop dancing, never stop running and the end of season 3
The poem from the view from halfway down hits me every time.
My favorite part is the funeral speech.
Love Bojack so much. I miss that show. 😢
if there is any episode to start with its free churo, it shows the serious side perfectly
Me: Sees the title
Also me: "Hahahahah ah...Evangelion"
it’s the fact that the show touched on so many taboo subjects in such an articulate manner. this show changed my life i’ve never been able to relate to a cartoon so much
when i first started watching bojack horseman i only wanted to watch it because of the asexual representation (I had recently discovered I was asexual) and because i seen a clip from the view from halfway down and i really wanted to see the entire episode, at the time i was in a really dark place in my life and was very suicidal the show made me feel less alienated to the world and made me realise i am not the only one going through what i am going through, the show helped me open up to me friends and even though i still am not in the best place i find comfort in knowing i am not the only person who has gone through abuse, suicide attempts and losing people to drug addictions, suicide ect the show is the best show i have ever watched and i literally recommend it to everyone i talk to
I like how despite how sad the show can get, it still managed to get a happy ending that didn't feel forced
The part with his mother suffering with dementia was really hard to watch for me. I connected with that way too hard.
you should check out midnight gospel, it's the only other good show on netflix.
I don't even watch the show but I loved how well you made this video. I tend to avoid depressing stuff because I'm mostly not in a good place myself. But I admire those who can and make stuff like this! Count me as subscribed!
Dude, this is a fcking amazing video. Thank you so much bro
The gmc commercial with the horse guy actor thingy played ad played before this
Most favorite show and it changed My life it even made me cry.
This is my first video I have watched of Salari, but I really think he could go places. His content is really good from what I can tell, story wise. I think if he improves his editing some, and that just comes with time, he could blow up. I think the biggest thing I noticed was after every line or before ( I can't tell) Salari would read, you can hear the sound of the key he presses to start or stop the recording. If he could get rid of the sound I think it could help! Anyways loved the content and hope whoever reads this has a great day!
what an excellent analysis and break down of the show. thank you so much for making this, your videos are all so intelligent and thoughtful and to reiterate all of the comments, seriously underrated. i hope you're doing well, keep making videos!
If this was really your first video, then holy shit keep it up! This was genuinely moving.
I've told quite a few people to watch the show, not one got through the whole thing without crying. Shout out to my boyfriend who made it all the way to season 6 but broke right at the end of the view from halfway down
Such an insightful, deep dive into this show!
Great video! You made me start watching this series, thank you.
Such a legendary show. So perfect
I remember having an awful month, I'm still kind of in the awful point but I woke up from sleep when that monkey says "it gets easier but you gotta do it" and I cried for a while. I just kind of accepted that my life might be this hell til the end but it felt nice to see and hear a genuine line like that, executed in a simple way. Love yall.
I honestly honestly agree that this show is so amazing and the fact that I, and like so many others, anticipated it to just be another one of *those* adult animated shows just makes the impact of how good it is hit so much harder. However I never finished it. I felt like I had to stop watching it because it made me too upset so many times. I have the type of autism where I'm overly empathetic and the emotional impact of this show really did a number on my mental health when I watched it. The fact that I could relate to BoJack so much, watching him make progress and then fall back down so low because of self sabotage frequently reminded me of myself and my own personal struggle with depression. Some of the specific ways he was manipulative reminded me of my darker days, parts of my life where I look back and just feel so disappointed in myself. BoJack just reminded me of the bad parts of myself too much. On top of the fact that I got too attached to Dianne and Mr. Peanut Butter (which is another symptom of autism, getting overly attached to fictional characters). I was so emotionally impacted by their relationship's downfall and their divorce. I loved this show so much though even though it impacted me negatively the fact that this show was able to do that was incredible. BoJack is secretly a more emotional symbol to me and the character himself acts as a personal symbol to me (I haven't told that to anybody in person but ill tell it in a RUclips comment section on a video that was made three years ago lmao). For example, in my parents house there's a mini white board on the fridge that has goofy faces drawn on it by each of my family members and I chose to draw BoJack on it. That's who I used to represent myself, my mom drew a silly face she used to draw as a teen which used to always be smoking a blunt but she changed the blunt into a tongue sticking out. My dad did a simple drawing of a World of Warcraft demon-looking face. My fiance bought me, my son and himself little storage boxes that have little notecards and clear plastic sheaths for the notecards. I drew BoJack for mine, My fiance drew a little Among Us guy sitting down for his. I love BoJack and a character so much and he has a place in my heart even though i never finished the show because it was too depressing to me. Ty for reading my ramble :) this comment was definitely too long.
I think Mr Peanutbutter is far more complex than layed out here.
